Famous quotes containing the word hoot:
“A somonour was ther with us in that place
That hadde a fyr-reed cherubynnes face,
For sawcefleem he was, with eyen narwe.
As hoot he was and lecherous as a sparwe,”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing.... The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
